With continuous development of mobile Internet technologies and hardware technologies, applications based on intelligent terminal devices (such as a smartphone, a tablet computer, and various electronic devices based on intelligence systems) also become more widespread. A notification, as a conventional processing mechanism of a device, can remind a user when the device receives different types of information, such as a short message service (Short Message Service, SMS) message, an incoming call, and a friend message in a social application.

Currently, using an intelligent terminal device based on an Android (Android) operating system of the Google (Google) company or an operating system (iOS) for Apple mobile devices of the Apple (Apple) company as an example, when information is notified on the device, a manner of performing reminding by using a top notification bar is used in most cases, and a user checks notification information by clicking or dropping down the notification bar, to click the notification information to start or switch to an application program to which the notification information belongs.

However, because a notification bar is generally located at an upper edge of a screen of a device, and current intelligent terminal devices develop with a tendency to be equipped with large screens. An operation of starting or switching to an application is performed according to notification information in the notification bar, resulting in complex steps of processing the notification information by a user and inconvenient operations, and relatively poor operation efficiency of the device.

In another implementation manner, after it is determined that the target application program in a visible state does not exist on the current screen, the electronic device may further display the target application program in a preset user interface mode.

The preset user interface mode is a full-screen display mode or a window display mode.

In another implementation manner, further, the operation of displaying, by the electronic device, the target application program in a preset user interface mode corresponding to the display instruction may specifically include:

when it is determined that any running application program exists in the foreground of the current screen, displaying the target application program in the window display mode in the foreground of the screen; or when it is determined that no running application program exists in the foreground of the current screen, displaying the target application program in the full-screen display mode in the foreground of the screen.

In another implementation manner, further, when the preset user interface mode is the window display mode, the operation of displaying, by the electronic device, the target application program in a preset user interface mode corresponding to the display instruction may specifically include:

determining, according to a type of the triggered display instruction, a window display parameter corresponding to the display instruction, where

the window display parameter includes display location coordinates and/or a display window size; and

further, displaying, in the window display mode according to the window display parameter, the window corresponding to the target application program.

In another implementation manner, further, after displaying the target application program in the preset user interface mode corresponding to the display instruction, the electronic device may further:

determine a corresponding function module and/or message sender in the target application program according to an application module identifier and/or a sender identifier indicated by the notification information; and

further display the target application program as a corresponding operation screen according to the function module and/or the message sender.

In another implementation manner, further, after displaying the target application program in the preset user interface mode corresponding to the display instruction, the electronic device may further:

detect a user closing operation;

trigger a closing instruction corresponding to the user closing operation, where

the closing instruction is used to instruct to close the target application program; and

further, close the target application program according to an indication of the closing instruction, so that the target application program is invisible on the screen.

This embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing notification information. After a user display operation is detected, and a display instruction corresponding to the user display operation is triggered, a target application program corresponding to notification information is determined; and when it is determined that a screen display status meets a condition, a window corresponding to the target application program is adjusted according to a preset adjustment policy corresponding to the display instruction. In this way, a display status of a target application program corresponding to notification information is adjusted according to a preset interaction operation, avoiding a problem that starting or switching to an application according to notification information in a notification bar causes complex steps of processing the notification information and inconvenient operations. Therefore, operations of processing notification information can be simplified, controllability can be improved, and user experience of a device can be improved.

To enable a person skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention more clearly, based on the electronic device shown in FIG. 1, the following describes in detail another method for processing notification information according to an embodiment of the present invention by using specific embodiments. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes:

S201: Detect a user display operation that is performed by a user on an electronic device.

Specifically, an input module of the electronic device detects the user display operation that is performed by the user on the electronic device, generates corresponding interaction operation information, and transfers the interaction operation information to a processor.

The user display operation may include forms, such as a preset display action, gesture, or voice. The operation performed by the user on the electronic device may be detected by interaction detection devices in the input module. For example, a touch control operation is detected by using a touchscreen, voice control is detected by using a microphone, and an action operation is detected by using an action-related sensing device.

The foregoing user display operation may be set in a device by default or may be set by the user through external input. A specific setting operation form is not limited herein.

S202: Trigger a display instruction corresponding to the user display operation.

Specifically, after obtaining the corresponding interaction operation information that is generated when the input module detects the user display operation that is performed by the user on the electronic device, the processor of the electronic device determines whether notification information that is not processed exists currently, and if the processor determines that the notification information currently exists in the notification manager of the electronic device, triggers the display instruction corresponding to the user display operation.

The display instruction is an instruction that is triggered by the processor in response to the user display operation of the user on the premise that the processor determines that the notification information that is not processed exists currently, and is used to instruct to display received notification information. Implementation forms of the display instruction on modules of the electronic device are not limited herein. The display instruction may be a message, a data packet, and the like, and fall within the protection scope of this embodiment of the present invention as long as the display instruction can be used as identifiers for instructing the modules to perform corresponding operations.

For example, as an example, the user display operation is an action of wobbling a device side to side (whose type is a preset display action). An application scenario in which the processor determines that the notification information currently exists in the notification manager may specifically include:

When releasing the notification information, the notification manger of the electronic device displays, by using an output module, the notification information in a notification bar for reminding. If an acceleration sensor in the input module detects, within a preset response time after the notification bar starts to display the notification information, the operation of wobbling the device side to side by the user, the acceleration sensor transfers, to the processor, interaction operation information indicating that the device is wobbled side to side, and then the processor triggers the display instruction, to instruct to perform a subsequent operation, and determines a current status of a screen.

Alternatively, when a moment at which an acceleration sensor in the input module detects the operation of wobbling the device side to side by the user does not fall within a preset response time after the notification manager displays any notification information in a notification bar, after determining, through querying, that at least one piece of notification information exists in the notification manager, the processor of the electronic device triggers the display instruction, to instruct to perform a subsequent operation, and determines a status of a current screen; or if the electronic device determines that no notification information exists in the notification manager, the action of the user is not responded.

The preset response time is a time range in which the electronic device can directly trigger the corresponding display instruction after receiving the user display operation of the user, without needing to perform determining for the notification manager. The preset response time is greater than or equal to duration in which after receiving the notification information, the electronic device displays, by using the notification bar, the notification information to remind the user, and may be set in a system by default, or may be given by the user through external input, which is not limited herein.

It should be noted that the user may interact with the electronic device by using different types of user display operations, and the processor of the electronic device triggers different types of corresponding display instructions according to the types of the user display operations. In this embodiment, multiple different types of user display operations may be simultaneously set for the device, so that the processor triggers corresponding display instructions. Moreover, corresponding types may be identified for the display instructions corresponding to the different types of user display operations in advance. For example, a display instruction corresponding to the operation of wobbling the device side to side is identified as a first operation type, and a display instruction corresponding to an operation of wobbling the device up and down is identified as a second operation type. Therefore, when performing subsequent processing on the notification information, the electronic device may distinguish, according to the types of the display instructions, interaction operations used by the user to trigger notification information processing operations, and different processing manners are used for different interaction operations.

Moreover, a correspondence between the multiple different types of user display operations and the types of the display instructions may be set in the device by default or may be set by the user through external input, and is recorded in the electronic device in advance. A specific corresponding manner is not limited herein.

S203: Determine a display status of a current screen.

Specifically, after triggering the display instruction corresponding to the user display operation, the electronic device obtains the display status of the current screen by invoking a system interface, and determines whether the target application program in a visible state exists on the current screen.

The target application program is an application program to which the notification information belongs. It should be noted that the electronic device may obtain, by using the notification manager, a related parameter corresponding to the notification information, for example, an application identifier of the notification information, where the application identifier is used to indicate related identifier information (such as a name of an application program or a path of an application program) of the application program to which the notification information belongs. Therefore, the target application program corresponding to the notification information can be determined according to the application identifier indicated by notification information. For example, if the notification information is information about a short message service message, the corresponding target application program is a short message application. If the notification information is a direct message from a microblog friend, the corresponding target application program is a microblog client. The foregoing target application programs are an example, and the target application program includes but is not limited to the foregoing examples.

That the target application program is in a visible state refers to that a user interface of the target application program is displayed at a location, which is visible to the user, on the screen of the electronic device. Moreover, it should be noted that, the target application program in a visible state may be displayed in the foreground of the screen (a user interface is completely visible to the user), and already obtains a focus (Focus), that is, the target application program can interact with the user; or may be displayed in a background of the screen (a user interface may be completely visible to the user, or may be partially visible to the user), and already loses a focus, that is, before obtaining a focus again and switching to a foreground of the screen, the target application program cannot interact with the user.

For example, using an Android system as an example, a status of the target application program may include: an active state or a running state (the target application program runs in the foreground of the screen), a paused state (the target application program loses the focus, but is still visible to the user), a stopped state (the target application program is completely covered by another application program and becomes dim), and a terminated state (the target application program is removed by the system from the memory).

Further, the electronic device invokes the system interface by using the processor, obtains the display status of the current screen in the output module, and determines whether the target application program in a visible state exists on the current screen. Moreover, the operation may be implemented based on determining performed on the status of the target application program, and may specifically include:

when the electronic device determines that the target application program is in a paused state (that is, the target application program is visible on the current screen, and a used display mode is a window display mode), an operation of step S204 is performed, and a window corresponding to the target application program is adjusted according to a preset adjustment policy; or when it is determined that the target application program is in a stopped or terminated state (that is, the target application program is invisible on the current screen), an operation of step S205 is performed, and the target application program is displayed in a preset user interface mode; and

it should be noted that, when it is determined that the target application program is an active state or a running state (that is, the target application program is running in the foreground of the screen), an operation of step S206 may be directly performed, and a user interface of the target application program is navigated, and is displayed as a corresponding functional interface; or after it is determined that the target application program is in a window display mode, an operation of step S204 may be further performed, and a window corresponding to the target application program is adjusted according to a preset adjustment policy.

Optionally, when determining that the target application program is in a paused state, the electronic device may further control, by using the processor, the output module to enable the window corresponding to the target application program to present a preset visual effect, so that an effect of reminding the user is achieved. The preset visual effect may include: window flicker, highlighting, being translucent, and the like. The foregoing listed effects are only an example, and the preset visual effect includes but is not limited to the foregoing examples.

S204: Adjust, according to a preset adjustment policy, a window corresponding to a target application program.

Specifically, after determining that the target application program in a visible state exists on the current screen, and the target application program is in the window display mode, the processor of the electronic device adjusts, according to the preset adjustment policy corresponding to the display instruction, one or more of a location, a size, or a display layer of the window corresponding to the target application program.

The preset adjustment policy indicates an adjustment parameter required for adjusting the window corresponding to the target application program, and the adjustment parameter may include target location coordinates when the corresponding window is moved, and/or a target size when the corresponding window is zoomed. Moreover, in an actual application scenario, a correspondence between a display instruction and a preset adjustment policy may be set in a system by default, or may be given by the user through external input, and is prestored in the electronic device. A specific correspondence is not limited herein.

Moreover, it should be noted that when the screen is displayed in a multi-window mode, windows corresponding to application programs have different display layers, and are sequentially in an overlapped state. When a display layer of a window corresponding to an application program is at a first layer (an uppermost layer), the application program is an application program in the foreground of the screen, and is allocated a focus. When the window corresponding to the target application program is to be adjusted according to the preset adjustment policy, if the display layer of the corresponding window in an initial state before adjustment is not the first layer, the display layer of the corresponding window needs to be adjusted to the first layer during adjustment, so that the target application program obtains a focus, that is, the target application program can interact with the user; or if the display layer of the corresponding window in an initial state before adjustment is the first layer, the display layer of the corresponding window does not need to be adjusted.

For example, when the electronic device adjusts, according to the preset adjustment policy corresponding to the display instruction, the window corresponding to the target application program, the adjustment parameter used in the preset adjustment policy may be set in the system by default or may be preselected by the user through external input. For example, same preset target location coordinates and/or a same preset target size is used without exception, and a specific status of setting the target location coordinates and the target size is not limited herein. Optionally, it may be further restricted that a preset target size needs to be less than a size of the screen, that is, an adjustment manner provided in the preset adjustment policy does not include a display manner of switching the window corresponding to the target application program to the full-screen display mode, ensuring that the target application program can be always displayed in the window display mode.

Alternatively, the adjustment parameter used in the preset adjustment policy corresponding to the display instruction may be further selected, according to an interaction operation form used by the user, based on a pre-established correspondence between different types of display instructions and adjustment parameters.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, assuming that an application program 1 is a target application program, a display instruction corresponding to an operation of tilting a device to the left is of a third operation type, and a display instruction corresponding to an operation of tilting a device to the right is of a fourth operation type,

when the detected user display operation is the operation of tilting the device to the left, and the display instruction of the third operation type is triggered, the adjustment parameter (the adjustment parameter indicates coordinates of a location on the left side of the screen) corresponding to the type of the display instruction may be determined, the corresponding window is then moved to an indicated location according to the adjustment parameter, and a focus is allocated to the corresponding window, so that the corresponding window is located in the foreground of the screen; or

when the detected user display operation is the operation of tilting the device to the right, and the display instruction of the fourth operation type is triggered, the adjustment parameter (the adjustment parameter indicates coordinates of a location on the right side of the screen) corresponding to the type of the display instruction may be determined, the corresponding window is then moved to an indicated location according to the adjustment parameter, and a focus is allocated to the corresponding window, so that the window is located in the foreground of the screen.

Moreover, the correspondence between a type of a display instruction and an adjustment parameter is only an example, and in an actual application scenario, may be set in a system by default, or may be given by the user through external input, and is prestored in the electronic device. A specific correspondence includes but is not limited to the foregoing example.

Optionally, before the electronic device adjusts, according to the preset adjustment policy, the window corresponding to the target application program, if target location coordinates that are indicated by a selected adjustment parameter are currently blocked by a window of any other application program, before the window corresponding to the target application program is moved to the target location coordinates, the blocking window of the application program may be moved to a current location of the window corresponding to the target application program or any idle area on the screen that does not block the target location coordinates. It should be noted that, before the blocking window of the application program is moved, a location and a display layer of the window of the application need to be recorded, so that a display status of the window of the application is restored in subsequent operations.

Optionally, after the window corresponding to the target application program is moved to the target location coordinates and is allocated a focus, if a foreground application program before the adjustment operation is blocked, the processor of the electronic device may further make the window corresponding to the target application program translucent by controlling the output module, and keep the foreground application program, before the adjustment operation, running continuously, to avoid interruption of an ongoing activity of the user.

Further, preferably, before adjusting, according to the preset adjustment policy, the window corresponding to the target application program, the electronic device further needs to record in advance current initial location coordinates, an initial window size, and an initial display layer of the window corresponding to the target application program, so that the display status of the window corresponding to the target application program is restored according to the recorded initial parameters in subsequent operations.

Further, after adjusting, according to the preset adjustment policy, the window corresponding to the target application program, the electronic device performs step S206, a user interface navigates a user interface of the target application program, and displays the user interface as a corresponding functional interface.

S205: Display the target application program in a preset user interface mode.

Specifically, after determining that the target application program in a visible state does not exist on the current screen, the processor of the electronic device displays the target application program in the preset user interface mode corresponding to the display instruction.

The preset user interface mode may be a full-screen display mode or a window display mode. Moreover, in an actual application scenario, a correspondence between a display instruction and a preset user interface mode may be set in a system by default, or may be given by the user through external input, and is prestored in the electronic device. A specific correspondence is not limited herein.

It should be noted that, if the target application program is in a stopped state (that is, the target application program may run in the background of the electronic device), the user interface corresponding to the target application program may be directly displayed or directly switched to; or if the target application program is in a terminated state (that is, the target application program is completely exited or closed), after the target application program is started by invoking a system interface, the user interface corresponding to the target application program needs to be displayed or switched to.

For example, when the electronic device displays the target application program in the preset user interface mode corresponding to the display instruction, a type of the used preset user interface mode may be set in a system by default or may be preselected by the user through external input. For example, the full-screen display mode or the window display mode is used as the selected preset user interface mode without exception, and a specific preset selection manner is not limited herein.

Alternatively, the type of the used preset user interface mode may be further selected, according to an interaction operation form used by the user, based on a pre-established correspondence between a different type of a display instruction and a preset user interface mode.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, assuming that a display instruction corresponding to an operation of wobbling a device side to side is of a first operation type, and a display instruction corresponding to an operation of wobbling a device up and down is of a second operation type, the pre-established correspondence may include:

when the triggered display instruction is the display instruction, which corresponds to the operation of wobbling the device side to side, of the first operation type, the used preset user interface mode is the window display mode; or when the triggered display instruction is a display instruction, which corresponds to the operation of wobbling the device up and down, of the second operation type, the used preset user interface mode is the full-screen display mode.

Further, alternatively, the type of the used preset user interface mode may be further selected according to the display status of the current screen. Using the Android operating system as an example, the type of the used preset user interface mode may specifically include:

when the processor determines that any application program in an active state or in a running state currently exists (that is, any running application program exists in the foreground of the current screen), the target application program is displayed in the foreground in the window display mode, which can avoid complete blocking of an application program currently running in the foreground while displaying the target application program; or when the processor determines that all application programs of the device are in a terminated state (that is, no running application program exists in the foreground of the current screen), the target application program is displayed in the foreground in the full-screen display mode, to achieve an optimal display effect.

Further, preferably, when the window display mode is selected as the preset user interface mode, a display parameter used in the window display mode may be further determined according to an interaction operation form used by the user, based on a pre-established correspondence between a different type of a display instruction and a window display mode, where the display parameter may include a display window size and/or display location coordinates or the like of a display window corresponding to the target application program. A display manner when the window corresponding to the target application program is displayed in the window display mode can be determined according to the interaction operation form used by the user.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, assuming that a display instruction corresponding to an operation of tilting a device to the left is of a third operation type, and a display instruction corresponding to an operation of tilting a device to the right is of a fourth operation type,

when the detected user display operation is the operation of tilting the device to the left, and the display instruction of the third operation type is triggered, a display parameter (the display parameter indicates coordinates of a location on the left side of the screen) corresponding to the type of the display instruction may be determined, so as to display a corresponding window on the left side of the screen; or

when the detected user display operation is the operation of tilting the device to the right, and the display instruction of the fourth operation type is triggered, a display parameter (the display parameter indicates coordinates of a location on the right side of the screen) corresponding to the type of the display instruction may be determined, so as to display a corresponding window on the right side of the screen.

Moreover, in an actual application scenario, a correspondence between a type of a display instruction and a display parameter may be set in a system by default, or may be given by the user through external input, and is prestored in the electronic device. A specific correspondence includes but is not limited to the foregoing examples.

Optionally, when determining that any application program in an active state or in a running state currently exists, and the target application program is displayed in the foreground in the window display mode, the processor may further make the window corresponding to the target application program translucent by controlling the output module, and keep the application program in an active state or in a running state running continuously, to avoid interruption of an activity that is currently being done by the user.

Further, after displaying the target application program in the preset user interface mode, the electronic device performs step S206, a user interface navigates a user interface of the target application program, and displays the user interface as a corresponding functional interface.

It should be noted that, as can be known according to the operation of step S204 and the operation of step S205, the correspondence between a display instruction and a preset adjustment policy and the correspondence between a display instruction and a preset user interface mode are not limited in this embodiment. Therefore, a same display instruction may correspond to both one preset adjustment policy and one preset display mode, that is, when one user display operation is used to trigger a process of processing notification information, a processing manner selected and used by the electronic device is further related to the display status of the current screen. For example, when it is determined that the target application program in a visible state exists on the current screen, and the target application program is in the window display mode, the window corresponding to the target application program is adjusted according to the preset adjustment policy corresponding to the display instruction; or when it is determined that the target application program in a visible state does not exist on the current screen, the target application program is displayed in the preset user interface mode corresponding to the display instruction.

Further, in an implementation manner, according to a setting requirement of the user, even if the display status of the current screen is different, a final effect of performing an adjustment by using the preset adjustment policy corresponding to the same display instruction or performing display by using the preset display mode corresponding to the same display instruction may be the same (as shown by the application program 1 in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8).

S206: Navigate a user interface of the target application program.

Specifically, after adjusting, according to the preset adjustment policy, the window corresponding to the target application program, or displaying the target application program in the preset user interface mode, the electronic device determines, according to the notification information in the notification manager, an application module identifier and/or a sender identifier indicated by the notification information, further determines a function module and/or the message sender corresponding to the notification information, and displays the target application program as a corresponding interface.

For example, using a case in which a WeChat (Wechat) client in the Android operating system as the target application program as an example, if the notification information in the notification manager is chat dialog information sent by a WeChat contact A, a function module indicated by a corresponding application module identifier in the WeChat client may be determined as a chat function module according to the notification information, and a message sender indicated by a sender identifier is the contact A. Therefore, a display interface of the WeChat client may be navigated to the contact A in the chat function module, and is displayed as a user interface of chatting with the contact A.

It should be noted that if the electronic device performs the operation of this step after adjusting, according to the preset adjustment policy, the window corresponding to the target application program, after the user interface of the target application program is navigated, an operation of step S207 may be performed, a user restoration operation by the user on the electronic device is detected, and a display status of the window corresponding to the target application program that is adjusted according to the preset adjustment policy corresponding to the display instruction is restored. In addition, an operation of step S208 may be directly performed, to close the target application program.

Alternatively, if the electronic device performs the operation of this step after displaying the target application program in the preset user interface mode corresponding to the display instruction, after the user interface of the target application program is navigated, an operation of step S208 may be directly performed, to close the target application program.

S207: Detect a user restoration operation that is performed by the user on the electronic device, and trigger a corresponding restoration instruction.

Specifically, if the input module of the electronic device detects the user restoration operation that is performed by the user on the electronic device, generates corresponding interaction operation information, and transfers the interaction operation information to the processor, and the processor then determines that the target application program is in an active state or in a running state (that is, the target application program is not closed and is maintained as a foreground application program), the restoration instruction is triggered, to restore the display status of the window corresponding to the target application program.

The user restoration operation may include forms, such as a preset restoration action, gesture, or voice. The user restoration operation may be set in a device by default or may be set by the user through external input. However, it should be noted that the set restoration action, gesture, or voice cannot be the same as those included in the set user display operation, and a specific operation form is not limited herein.

The restoration instruction is an instruction triggered in response to the user restoration operation of the user on the premise that the processor determines that the current target application program is not closed and is maintained as the foreground application program, and is used to instruct to restore the display status of the window corresponding to the target application program adjusted according to the preset adjustment policy. Implementation forms of the restoration instruction on modules of the electronic device are not limited, and may be a message, a data packet, and the like. The forms all fall within the protection scope of this embodiment of the present invention as long as the forms can be used as identifiers for instructing the modules to perform corresponding operations.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, as an example, an application program 1 is the target application program, and the user restoration operation is a gesture that two fingers slide down (whose type is a preset restoration gesture). After the window corresponding to the target application program is adjusted according to the preset adjustment policy corresponding to the display instruction, the input module of the electronic device detects the gesture operation that two fingers slide down and that is performed by the user on the electronic device. If the processor determines that the target application program is currently in an active state or in a running state (that is, the target application program is not closed and is maintained as the foreground application program), a restoration instruction is triggered, one or more of the location, size, or display layer of the corresponding window are then adjusted according to the recorded initial location coordinates, the recorded initial window size, and the recorded initial display layer of the window corresponding to the target application program, and the initial display status of the corresponding window is restored.

Optionally, if the electronic device adjusts, according to the preset adjustment policy, the window corresponding to the target application program, an operation of moving an application window blocking target location coordinates to another location exists, and the application window further needs to be restored according to a recorded location and a recorded display layer of the blocking application window.

Then, the electronic device may further perform the operation of step S208 after the display status of the window corresponding to the target application program is restored, to close the target application program.

S208: Detect a user closing operation that is performed by the user on the electronic device, and trigger a corresponding closing instruction.

Specifically, if the input module of the electronic device detects the user closing operation that is performed by the user on the electronic device, generates corresponding interaction operation information, and transfers the interaction operation information to the processor, and the processor then determines that the target application program is not in a terminated state (that is, the target application program is not closed), the closing instruction is triggered, to perform a closing operation on the target application program.

The user closing operation may include forms, such as a preset display action, gesture, or voice. The user closing operation may be set in a device by default or may be set by the user through external input. However, it should be noted that the set closing action, gesture, or voice cannot be the same as those included in the set user display operation or user restoration operation, and a specific operation form is not limited herein.

The closing instruction is an instruction triggered in response to the user closing operation of the user on the premise that the processor determines that the current target application program is not closed, and is used to instruct to close the target application program corresponding to the notification information processed after the user display operation is responded. Implementation forms of the closing instruction on modules of the electronic device are not limited, and may be a message, a data packet, and the like. The forms all fall within the protection scope of this embodiment of the present invention as long as the forms can be used as identifiers for instructing the modules to perform corresponding operations.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, as an example, an application program 1 is the target application program, and the user closing operation is a gesture that two fingers slide up (whose type is a preset restoration gesture). After the window corresponding to the target application program is adjusted according to the preset adjustment policy corresponding to the display instruction or the target application program is displayed in the preset user interface mode corresponding to the display instruction, the input module of the electronic device detects the gesture operation that two fingers slide up and that is performed by the user on the electronic device. If the processor determines that the target application program is currently not in a terminated state (that is, the target application program is not closed), a closing instruction is triggered, to close the target application program.

It should be noted that, when multiple pieces of notification information exist in the notification manager of the electronic device, the operations of steps S201 to S208 may be performed repeatedly, and the notification information is successively processed; or one or more of the operations of steps S201 to S208 are selectively repeated or continuously performed, for example, the operations of steps S201 to S207 are repeatedly performed, and the operation of step S208 is then performed repeatedly and continuously, and after multiple pieces of information are accumulated and displayed, the multiple pieces of information are closed successively. The operation steps used to process the multiple pieces of notification information are only an example. The operation steps include but are not limited to the foregoing examples. The user may perform multiple types of nesting of the operations of steps S201 to S208 according to an actual use requirement, which is not limited herein.

This embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing notification information. After a user display operation is detected, and a display instruction corresponding to the user display operation is triggered, a target application program corresponding to notification information is determined; and when it is determined that a screen display status meets a condition, a window corresponding to the target application program is adjusted according to a preset adjustment policy corresponding to the display instruction. In this way, a display status of a target application program corresponding to notification information is adjusted according to a preset interaction operation, avoiding a problem in the prior art that starting or switching to an application according to notification information in a notification bar causes complex steps of processing the notification information and inconvenient operations. Therefore, compared with the prior art, according to the present invention, operations of processing notification information can be simplified, controllability can be improved, and user experience of a device can be improved.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus 01 for processing notification information. The apparatus 01 is configured to implement a method for processing notification information provided in the embodiments of the present invention, and may be the electronic device shown in FIG. 1, or may be a function module in the device. As shown in FIG. 11, the apparatus 01 includes:

a detection unit 011, configured to detect a user display operation;

a triggering unit 012, configured to trigger a display instruction corresponding to the user display operation, where

the display instruction is used to instruct to display received notification information;

a determining unit 013, configured to determine, according to an application identifier indicated by the notification information, a target application program corresponding to the notification information; and

an adjustment unit 014, configured to: after it is determined that the target application program in a visible state exists on a current screen, and the target application program is in a window display mode, adjust, according to a preset adjustment policy corresponding to the display instruction, one or more of a location, a size, or a display layer of a window corresponding to the target application program.
